Trump isn't doing so hot in the Reuter's Ipsos polls.

Let's try our own AseanNow poll. Do you approve or disapprove of Trump's handling of domestic and foreign affairs?

36 percent

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a new low as concerns grow about the U.S. economy and the war with Iran. The president’s overall approval rating is now at 36 percent, marking its lowest point since he took office last year, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday.

I wholeheartedly approve of every thing he has done and every step he has taken........he has totally ****ed up the Republican's chances of being in power for generations.

Got it. AOC then.

Trump probably will post the poll results on his social media channel like this.

Sure. But a little bit early for AOC, she needs more experience in foreign matters. Wait, you didn't think listing those names would be off putting, did you?

Have you seen the creature that's shuffling around the WH these days?? The love child of Hannibal Lecter and Typhoid Mary would be preferable!

That's how you ask the questions on a survey, when you want the results to favor your bias.

Domestic & foreign should be separate question. Combining them will obviously generate more negative results.

You are wrong and correct. As I peeked at the voting, after I posted. Then open forum to see how many view. Then opened the topic to post, then opened it again, to get the screenshot of the view ct and didn't change

Correct ... some people are stupid.

They keep me around, as I'm good for business, viewing spike after I posted.

HAVE A NICE DAY

Listen to this muppet!

Again, just listen. If this makes sense to you then contact mental health personnel immediately.

I recall you were enthusiastically supporting him during the election.

Were you trolling at the time?

As I've told others before: If you don't like my poll, feel free to post your own. The Reuter/Ipsos poll didn't separate out the two. Neither did I for the same reason.

Just pointing out the obvious. Why would I bother posting a poll on AN, especially a political one.

A better poll would be do you approve or disapprove of Americans who voted a felon into the Presidency.

President Mark Kelly has a nice ring to it.

War veteran , astronaut, US navy captain, senator.

You know, Qualified.

The problem here is that it's not specifically Trump. It's how american politicians have been ruining their country for decades and giving it to the dogs. But come will a day when the party will Stop I guess, like most nations in Europe.

Yeah like a dope smoking Chicago DEI machine politico who was clean and articulate and a one term Senator

That question is way too binary... Politics in the US has become so tribal that everything gets reduced to “which side are you on?”, and then there's Donald Trump, who doesn’t just exacerbate that divide - he blows it apart (seemingly) deliberately, just by being himself.

Take the 2026 State of the Union. The immigration segment everyone talked about - the “stand if you agree” moment. That wasn’t just a line in a speech, it was a clever setup. A political trap, plain and simple.

Republicans stood. Democrats stayed seated.

And just like that, the whole thing stopped being about immigration, or policy, or facts - it became a loyalty test. Very clever - it highlighed the real issues...

.... not just in the US, but globally. People react to Trump the personality - the theatrics, the ego, the sometimes outright ridiculous public behaviour - rather than separating that from the actual policies.

Now, is he an idiot? Clearly not. People love to say that, but idiots don’t build empires, win elections, and hold power at that level. But at the same time, he plays the fool in public far too often - and that undermines everything else he does. It muddies the waters.

IMO there's a truth thats too uncomfortable for some - some of his policies were solid. Not all, not even close, but some were pragmatic, effective, even necessary depending on how you look at them. Others… not so much. Some were badly executed, others driven more by ego than strategy.

So do I approve of Trump? No… and also yes.

It depends what you’re asking about. Which policy? Which decision? Which version of the facts - because let’s be honest, those get twisted on both sides until I can barely see the original shape.

Stripping away the noise - the media spin, the outrage machine, the blind loyalty and the blind hatred, just looking at things case by case, he can be viewed with a better balance.

I think for some, they are too locked into their 'judgment' and double down - the idea that Trump may have done some positive things is not comfortable place to go to, because it forces you people admit something most people don’t want to admit:

They can disagree with the man… and still agree with some of what he did, or vice versa.

Most people won’t say that out loud though.

The line was: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

The Democrats sat -- it was a grade school setup as, if Democrats stood, Trump was prepared to pivot to "Well then why don't you?" instead of "Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up"
